List of songs in the Donkey Konga series

This is a totally unneeded list of the songs from the Donkey Konga series, as all these songs are already listed in their respective Donkey Konga game articles, and so this is pure duplication. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT WP:N. I can think of plenty of websites on which this may belong, but WP is not one of them. -Verdatum (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll resend the argument that this falls under the context of a game guide, but I still completely fail to see why this needs to be it's own article. It seems quite reasonable to keep the music information in the individual articles.  It does not appear to be a large enough bit of information to justify a fork due to WP:SIZE.  If you can find and include a reference to a reliable secondary source discussing the signifigance of the "songs in the Donkey Konga series" separate from the game itself.  Even if this is the case, the article should probably be modified and renamed Music of the Donky Konga series and expand beyond just a list. -Verdatum (talk) 22:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * delete Not notable outside the game itself. Keep this in the main donkey konga article. Cackalackakilla (talk) 21:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia isn't a game guide. RobJ1981 (talk) 21:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: While it is information about a game, it is definitely beyond game guide information. -- Masterzora (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and remove the track listing in the main articles. The main reason the article was deleted in the first place was too prevent the unnessicary clutter the song lists were causing in the main articles. Note that there are 96 songs to list for the three regional versions of the first game alone and having that list in the main article just isn't practical. The list is following WP:SUMMARY guidelines.--SeizureDog (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd be willing to concede that this doesn't fall within WP:GUIDE, but none of the Donkey Konga articles approach the 32K defined by WP:SIZE. -Verdatum (talk) 03:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Informative, and prevents the articles from getting too big. Maybe we should split this article off like other music games (List of songs in Guitar Hero (2005 video game), List of songs in Guitar Hero II, List of songs in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, List of songs in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock).

 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Someone another (talk) 14:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - 1) Per the extensive discussion at Articles for deletion/FIFA series soundtracks, which applies even more here than there. 2) Appearing as playable song in a music game can be seen as a form of recognition akin to top-100 appearances. There appears to be established consensus that such things are notable, see for example the extremely large series of articles under List of number-one hits (United States).

 * Keep Per previous discussion on soundtracks, "playable" licensed tracks are appropriate as per Guitar Hero/Rock Band-type games. Article could use cleanup/consistency, but should not be deleted. --M ASEM  18:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - for all the same reasons that lists of songs from TV shows, etc. have been deleted. Including a song in a video game doesn't make it notable and video games don't gain notability for including certain songs. If the information is already in the individual game articles there's little need for this redundant article anyway. Otto4711 (talk) 19:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as music is a major aspect of this notable game series. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 21:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Could you please then explain why this information doesn't simply belong in the game articles themselves? -Verdatum (talk) 22:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I would not be opposed to putting this information into the main article and then redirecting without deleting this article. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 22:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The songs are notable, as is the list, and I can't find any compelling reason not to host them.  (jarbarf) (talk) 01:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
